Genesis 31:19

And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
All Commentaries on Genesis 31:19 Go To Genesis 31

John Chrysostom

AD 407
This was included not by chance but for us to know how they still clung to their ancestral habits and showed great devotion to the household gods. I mean, consider how [Rachel] went to so much trouble as to steal nothing else of her father’s than the household gods alone and did it without her husband noticing; Jacob would not have allowed it to happen, you see.
